Current GECCO cohorts

A list of cohort studies that are currently part of GECCO is shown in the Table further down.

In the course of the project these cohorts will be enriched with a wide variety of environmental data. A more extensive overview of cohort variables and measures that are available (meta-data), for all time points will be provided here in the future.

Requesting access to cohort data can be done through the cohort-specific contact points. These can be found on the designated cohort websites listed in the Table below.

A list of currently available environmental variables can be found here.
